<p>[QUOTE=&quot;7Jags, post: 26097010, member: 78719&quot;]Yes, I totally agree. However the 1982 and 1983 Costa Rica 250 colones have been on the rise for at least 5 years and just go higher and higher. I would say there is some chance that there may be collectors in Costa Rica as there are more people with money down there. So one possible variable in the future is that &quot;home markets&quot; may develop. I have seen some of this in Panama also as another example.</p><p>I too find some of the designs and work quite well done, and although not an engraver appreciate the competence of some of theirs. Everhardt (sp?) went to the US mint for many years after the FM. If you have a chance test out the execution of the bust of Belisario Porras on the Panama 5 Balboa coins of 1975-1982; facing busts come off generally very poorly but check for example how they handled the subjects glasses and all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
